Re: Scan Tool
I have the Foxwell nt 530 with the Mercedes software; I'm pretty sure toolman's Foxwell has the Chrysler software. The Foxwel nt 530 has been a good scan tool for both my CLK 500 and the Crossfires for a very reasonable price. It runs an automatic scan sequence for the car you put into the program. I have cleared SRS lights on the Crossfire and corrected malfuntions in EGR, power seats and the anit-lock brake system with ESP on the CLK. You will have to buy an additional tool to handle TPMS. Doing it again I would try the iCarsoft MB II scanner. You will have to use the Mercedes module manually. I really like the idea of the emulator, but doubt I could figure out how to get it to download and work to it's full potential. I would also have to buy another computer as it will only run on a Microsoft system and I only use Apply Mac while online.
You can purchase additional programs ( up to four ) for any other cars you have with the Foxwell, so it is versatile, and they do have free downloads when they upgrade a module you have previously downloaded. NO scan tool will exercise the brakes for bleeding, as our cars are NOT programed for that function. The scan tool can attempt the brake bleed function, but the Crossfire will not respond/function as it has no programming to bleed brakes.
You will need a Microsoft system computer to download the Foxwell programs.
